Career Coaching

We can help you set the stage for career success.

Athletes need coaches. So, why not be a pro at owning your own personal career success? Career coaching can make a difference for alumni who are actively looking -- from newly minted graduates to seasoned professionals seeking a new role by necessity or choice. Are you actively seeking a new position and frustrated by the dozens of resumes you've sent without any results? Perhaps it’s been a while since you were in the job market and you're panicked at the thought. Are you eager to put your new IU degree to work in the real world? Whether you're currently employed or not, looking for a new job can be daunting. We're here to help.

To help you take the next step on your career journey, we offer IUAA members one free career assessment each year as a member benefit. You'll work with a career coach in person, by phone, or via Skype. To arrange for your assessment, call 800-824-3044 and ask for Professional Enrichment, or email us.
